I remember making a stitch book for my Viking Designer1 so that had to be around 2000. I found it after all these years in one of my drawers but tossed it out as I traded the machine in for an Epic back in 2015. Wished I'd kept it as I'm sure this machine uses some of the same stitches. Haven't made on for this machine yet and probably never will. I used felt when I stitched out the stitches and I put a number of the stitches onto the piece at one time, writing the number of the stitch at the top of each line. Now, I just write down the stitch I like to use for say bindings if I'm going to do all machine stitching on it. I put my notes on a little sticky note and keep it in the drawer next to the machine so I can hopefully find it again.
